However my prime is now rebooting every so often probably because of the .14 update. I want to Un-Root and probably return it for RMA but the root I used has no Un-Root option.

I was wondering if I can use Viperboy's method to Un-Root or Re-root my already rooted prime?

Please help, thank you.

If your going to return or rma it then try it. Sorry I can't be much more help.

Hey Guys. I just downloaded the file from the OP and tried extracting the file for the .exe but there was an error while extracting is. Is there another link for the file? Also would viperMOD primer be the same thing to root my TF?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Yes use PrimeTime to Unroot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Try to download again. If it doesn't work, someone PM him a mirror please. It is now called PrimeTime but yes you need that exe file.

Thank you viperboy. I actually ended up going to your website and downloaded it from there so no need to pm me the mirror.

Who wants to test out PrimeTime v4.5 with CWM flashing?! :D If you did not yet put CWM on your Prime, please test this out...

It worked for me, just let me know if it works for you.

Also, I will be on IRC for a little bit. Stop by if you want to. freenode #viperROM. Thanks!

Wow viperboy you dont play no games! Thank you for being such a wonderful dev for our forum.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jemael972:
May be my question was stupid but :

It s only for the people who had unlocked device with asus tool?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] killawatts:
Yes. As if now the only way to install CWM is if you've unlocked using the Asus tool and rooted your device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wokka00:
v4.1 works for locked devices. Beyond that, I suspect viperboy may have other goodies up his sleeve.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nakasi:
Thanks for help, but I just try and still not work. Next idea?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
I try! :D

PrimeTime 4.5 (just posted it a few posts back) will work the same way as all the other versions, it just adds the cwm flashing feature now.

Like what I just posted? :p

What SKU are you? US?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kindacrazyazn:
Viperboy I have another question. So I rooted my tf or at least I think I did and then tried to install cwm but when I tried to open that apk it said I wasn't rooted. Should I uproot and root again?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smw6180:
Did you unlock the bootloader first?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nakasi:
I´am sorry, but I don´t know what SKU is :confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Yes, try that. What SW version are you on?

Go into Settings > About Tablet > Build Number. What do you see there? I have IML74K_US_blahblahblah. The "US" is the SKU, it's basically the region your Prime is from.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nakasi:
Thx;) I have WW.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Go here:

http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#download

Look for "Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF201 Firmware: V9.4.2.14 Only for WW SKU (Android 4.0.3)"

Download it. I believe there are directions in the 1st or 2nd post on how to flash it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Updated to v4.5! Installs the Asus Unlock Tool (you will get an error if you already have it installed, ignore it) and automatically flashes CWM! I've had 3 reports of this working, you guys should have no issues!

I do intend to update to v5 and overhaul the entire program. Do things a little bit better and more efficiently. But that won't be for a little bit, as everything is working. I just want to do it since it's a little bit messy as it is right now.

Enjoy :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
-viperboy- you ROCK!! I have the technical know-how to flash the recovery without this tool, but why bother when you make it so easy?! Another donation is on its way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kindacrazyazn:
Ohh. I did not do that. Thank you. Sorry I am coming from a device that doesn't have an unlocked bootloader. I will get that done. Thanks again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kindacrazyazn:
I am on .21. Does that matter?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dbatch:
According to the website, we will no longer get software updates once the unlock tool is applied... is that true? what to do if it is?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
That is true -- but there are devs here that will make the updates available to be flashed through recovery, and there will be ROMs that take all the best aspects of the updates and make them better, with more features for users.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RonH54:
I just got my Prime last week and the only thing I have done it run ViperMod 4.1 to Root my Prime. So now I just get Viper 4.5 and re run the install program? Do I need to un-root First? The 4.5 Version will add the Unlock Tool I then need to run to get CWM?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wokka00:
If you're going to unlock, hopefully it's for the sake of moving off stock to a custom ROM, in which case, you shouldn't care whatsoever about getting OTAs (as the earlier poster was). If you've already unlocked for the lulz, you've a) gotten no benefit and b) irreversibly voided your warranty. Root pre-dates and is entirely separate from bootloader unlock (as evidence by this thread), and most importantly can be reversed.

(In my book, CWM/nandroid alone aren't enough to justify voiding a warranty, but YMMV.)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dbatch:
another query, is it possible to root the device, to allow cisco anyconnect to work on prime, without unlocking and killing the software updates?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Rooting and Unlocking 2 completely separate things. Once has nothing to do with the other. You can root and will be fine. Just don't go messing around deleting or changing system files and stock apps. OTA works fine with root. Only time OTA won't work with root of if you went deleting stock apps or changed/modded some kind of system configuration. Make sure immediately after you root to use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to save n backup your root. This is for future updates that break root. Then u can use voodoo to restore root after a new OTA update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
You don't need to unroot. 4.5 will install the Unlock Tool. Then you follow the directions in version 4.5, which tell you to find the Unlock app in your app drawer and run it, then after it fully reboots, you hit enter in version 4.5 and it flashes the recovery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
This is kind of what I am holding out for. Other than for Recovery, there is nothing I "want" unlocked bootloader for just yet that is worth voiding my warranty at this time. I will do this for sure in time BUT I would like to hold out and see if there is a way found to bamboozle Asus' system and not send them my data that I unlocked. Get the best of all worlds by just being a little patient.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo4sickness:
Ok I used 4.1 to Root no problems so I use this version do I have to unroot and root again. Or just Root again and I will have CWM and I thought we needed the Unlocking tool from Asus.

Just wanted to Confirm as Driod Luvs Girl answred my question

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Pithism:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] manso1102:
I'm sorry for the noob question but if I use this tool, it will root my tablet, unlock the bootloader and install cwm? I think thats what I'm reading but it send to good to be true. I haven't rooted my tablet yet btw.

-EVO-
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sting5566:
It sure will and works like a charm.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Thank you very much! :D

Does being on .21 matter in regards to what?

I thought this was pretty straightforward, but I guess not for everyone. If you're rooted, literally download v4.5, hit 5, and follow along. If you're not rooted, use option 1, follow along, use option 5, follow along. Simple, I think.

I'm not worried about warranty, most people bought these from stores or Amazon anyway. I doubt many people got it from Asus directly. For example, with Best Buy, if this tablet malfunctions or stops working, bring it to them and they will give you a store credit for the tablet because they honor the manufactures warranty. And Best Buy has no idea you rooted your device or unlocked the bootloader anyway, and trust me, they don't give a crap anyway.

Welcome :)

As I said above, download v4.5 and you need to already be rooted to do the bootloader unlock and CWM flash.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smw6180:
Speaking of warranty, Viper....

I haven't done the unlock yet, so I haven't looked at 4.5, but if you haven't already you might want to put a blurb in about how it voids your warranty so some moron doesn't come back and blame you for it. You know how people are.

"OMG! I didn't know if would void my warranty! OMG!"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
If they don't see that in the Unlock Tool that tells them about the warranty twice and doesn't let them hit the checkmark until they scroll the terms and conditions... well... there is something wrong there and I can't be blamed for that.

Thanks though :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kindacrazyazn:
I feel like I have been a pain and asking a whole bunch of questions but anyways thank you viperboy. U used the update v4.5 tool to root and was able to install recovery. But thank you. Awesome program made thing easier than I made it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
It's fine man, no problem :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smw6180:

Hi, A quick question. Do I need to unlock bootloader myself before using PrimeTime to flash CWM, or the bootloader unlocker apk is included in the primetime? thanks

Ah, I just found out the answer. Bootloader Unloader is included in the new PrimeTIme. Ignore me thanks. :D

Do you happen to have one of the Primes with "no serial number"? that seems to be the issue
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scumbag Inc.:
-sigh- ya. But on that thread a couple of them have said they rooted theres. Any idea? I'll try posting over there as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hiswayout:
Apparently I'm a nub.

Okay. So for some unknown reason I've tried installing the correct drivers on FOUR DIFFERENT COMPUTERS. And I can't get it to install them correctly. No matter what I do it says "unknown device". I really want root and I hate feeling like a noob because it's not like this is my first time. I tried Asus Suite, I tried using device manager to manually install updates, but it keeps saying "the best drivers are already installed". So if I need to get flamed for asking a dumb question I grant ONE user a flame if they can appropriately explain how to help me. Only one. Thank you all. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] b0nza1:
I have windows 7 64 bit. I had to go into device manager and point it to the right directory on one. Then the other I had to choose the actual driver from the list. Also note that on reboots it may show that device is unknown and come up when its fully booted into the OS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jcase:
I believe users with no serial numbers have a defect, and nachoroot won't work because of it. Your devices are "not fully booting" meaning not every service is started.

Looking for another solution now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hiswayout:
Well, how do I know if mine is a "no serial number unit" I mean it has the SN on the bottom. But is that a factory defect? Sorry. Kind of a noob in tablets. Haha well I just tried a factory reset, we'll see.

Actually just checked in settings and a serial pops up. But I did a factory reset on it and Still says unknown device, and when I point it to the drivers it says "the best driver is already installed"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sacredabyss:
Thanks for the great work. Would this enable flashing or still need to wait for unlocking the bootloader?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bscotth:
I can't get the unroot to work. Running Windows 7 x64

I enter "2" and Enter, then it instantly says it's done.

After a reboot, I still have root access. Any help would be great because I'm sending it in tomorrow.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ciddy:
You dont seem to have the MTP driver installed (second device driver install, the one which fails).

Here's what I would do:

1. Uninstall Asus Sync (most probably optional, dont know, I didnt install it).

2. Hit Win+R, enter "devmgmt.msc" (no quotes), brings up device manager.

3. Connect the prime, when it shows up in device manager, select it and hit Del.

Then search for new hardware and install the supplied drivers.

4. After the first reboot of the prime, check the device manager, it should show Asus MTP device with a notification; update its driver from the Viper pack.

5. Re-run the root.

I had the same (no MTP driver install following first root-reboot), installed the driver, continued rooting and got Superuser FCs.

Re-Rooted with properly installed USB AND MTP driver, all went well, no SU FCs anymore.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] silverwings2008:
Please can someone tell me how to unroot and remove superuser. The Unroot button just says complete, but nothing changes on the tablet.

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bnorontako:
thank's with this method i rooted my lg optimus 3d phone v21b
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
It is so quick because all it does is remove 2 files, su binary and superuser app. Are you sure that you still have root access? How are you confirming this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kilroy672:
I may want to try this sometime soon if my wife lets me. But will this work on ICS when that rolls out next week? And will this work when any other firmware or other OTA updates? If not, I may pass.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
I need to put this in the OP. Root DOES NOT prevent OTAs. What prevents OTAs is when you have root and delete files and certificates that download and authenticate the OTA. This tool and NachoRoot don't do that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] silverwings2008:
Thanks for the reply, it roots fine, but when I go to unroot (with prime in debugging mode) your program simply announces successful, but when you reboot, superuser app and root access are still available. You can use root explorer etc.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
OK, I could no longer take the PMs or questions. PLEASE read the 2nd post. That should answer anything you need to know and hopefully keep people from asking the same questions over and over. If there is anything that should be added in there, please let me know.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
When you connect to your pc have you clicked on the option that pops up in the bottom right of your transformer that does a pc sync? I didn't initially do that and tried to update my drivers through device manager and got that same result. But once I clicked the pc sync (or whatever it was called) in the bottom right and let that run through installing the drivers worked.

Thanks jcase and viperboy for this!
